~Gajeel's P.O.V.~

"What did you do this time?" I heard Juvia's voice in my right ear. My head shot up and I looked at her.

"What?" I asked as I blinked. I yawned and noticed I had fallen asleep in my English class. I looked passed her where Levy would've been sitting, but she had requested a seat change after the day in the hall. She hadn't even talked to me since then and it really hurt my feelings and grades, since she was suppose to be my tutor.

"Why is Levy not talking with you? Juvia hasn't seen her utter a word to Gajeel since he told her about the crush."

I sighed, "I really upset her, I thought I told you that." I tapped my pen on my desk as she spoke with me. "I really messed up. I should've just waited for an auto-transfer from our old school to a different one. Maybe things would be different between me and m-shrimp."

"You almost said something else."

I looked away towards Levy, who had her nose in a horror novel. "I almost said my shrimp." I told my friend. "She has been avoiding me but the attraction I have to her just gets greater and greater each and everyday and I really ain't sure what to do 'bout it." I put my pen down and crossed my arms in front of my chest. "What are we doing today?" I looked forward wanting to ignore the Levy topic.

"Pen pal mission prep." Juvia smiled looking at Gray from across the room. "Me and my beloved Gray are going on a mission too! Ms. Scarlet said it was alright since we would have nothing to do tomorrow since everyone else at the school was going on theirs."

"That's good." I said waving her away. I was feeling sleepy again, I always did now. It was strange for me, but maybe it was just because I had nothing better to do. No one to threaten, no one to listen to, no one to follow around and keep an eye on.

I woke up to the bell ringing. I stood up as everyone else filed out. I looked back as I walked towards the door, Levy was putting her book away. I was almost out the door when Ms. Scarlet said my name. I growled and turned around. "Yes?" I said annoyed.

"You too Levy." She added.

I heard a small groan come from Levy's direction. "Yes, ma'am?" She smiled up at her with her cute and beautiful smile. I could clearly see she was hurting about something though, but I wasn't sure what.

"You two don't have a job assigned for tomorrow, so you'll have to go through the school day together. So either you can follow his schedule or he can follow yours but you need to stick together. We picked tomorrow as a mission day for a reason." Ms. Scarlet said.

I blinked and looked at Levy. She looked horrified. "B-but-,"

Before she could finish her sentence an alarm went off and Ms. Scarlet looked terrified. "Stay here!" She ordered. She ran out the door closing it and locking it behind her.

"What...?" I looked at Levy who had already moved to a corner of the room. She had her knees pressed against her chest. "What's going on?!" I asked walking closer.

I was surprised she actually answered me. It had been the first time in almost a month. All she said was "An attack."

~Levy's P.O.V~

I stared at Gajeel. Was his school never under an attack before? Fairy Tail was constantly getting attack threats from other schools. They weren't the schools under the council of the magic schools, no they were the ones that strayed away. I saved Gajeel from ending up at school that had a possibility of becoming one of those very schools.

"What's so bad about that, shrimp?" He asked. My heart picked up pace when he called me shrimp. I had been avoiding him for nearly a month now because he had hurt me so badly. I had the biggest crush on him and he told me I wasn't his type. No matter what I did, I couldn't the idiot off my mind and now that we were alone... I was having even more a hard time ignoring him.

"Um, well when you're weak like me you tend to fear if you'll survive if they do manage to get you. The teachers are all well equipped in magic usage, Ms. Scarlet is one of our most powerful ones, but there is always that chance that whoever is attacking could over power them."

"I ain't gonna let nothin' hurt ya shrimp." Gajeel had a smile on his face. He walked closer to me and sat beside me. "Are you shaking?"

I hadn't even noticed. The funny thing was that I wasn't even sure if I was shaking because he was so close to me or if I was shaking because I was scared. "I gu-guess I am." I replied as he wrapped an arm around my shoulders. He pulled me closer to him. His arms were so warm.

"I'm sorry for what I said."

"What?" This threw me off. I looked up at him.

"About ya not being my type." He said looking forward. He didn't even look at me. He was watching the door.

"It's fine."

"I said that because I'm scared."

"Of?"

"Getting close to you. I...I..." he trailed off. He had a blush on his face.

I blinked. He... he was blushing. Gajeel Redfox, the big bad dragon slayer from Phantom Lord was... blushing again!? I blushed realizing what was going on. "What?!"

"I like you." He said. His crimson eyes looked at me and I blushed brighter. I hid my face in his chest. "I have for a while, shrimp."

"Idiot!" I mumbled in his chest. My face was so hot, I was blushing so much I couldn't even look at him. "You should've said so sooner!" I hugged him tightly.

"I'll take that as a "I like you too Gajeel, I'm just too much of a shrimp to say anything"."

I sat up and punched his shoulder. "Quiet!"

He hissed and looked at me, "Ya ain't as weak as ya say!" He snapped. He smirked, "It's cute."

I blushed again and looked away. "Shut-up."
